If nobody is using the connection I simply let it run at full speed.
I pay for 4Mbps unlimited, I intend to use it. Sometimes I download crap just because I can to annoy Virgin. It works both ways, annoy me, and I'll annoy you back. Its always been like that with me. Mock me all you like, I won't change.

I must say i am cheesed off too and i load up my d/l newsgroups with 40gig of linux stuff every day after 9.00pm. I was told till your UBR falls over or gets enough complaints it wont get the upgrade and i have been waiting months only to find out it has been put back to september and is running STM trials....what chance do i have. Lets load it up 40gig every night
